Since 2004, he has co-hosted the French-language version of TNA Impact! with Pierre-Carl Ouellette and Sylvain Grenier at RDS studios. He later became part owner of Top of the World Wrestling (TOW)with Grenier and fellow RDS announcer Jean-François Kelly. He also does English Color Commentary for the DVD releases alongside Ryan Rider who does the Play-by-Play. Career Marc Blondin was working in event management and as a radio DJ in Quebec when he got his start in the wrestling business with the WWF in 1986, when Guy Hauray, then in charge of French-language business for the WWF, hired him for ring announcer duties for house shows in Montreal. Later that year he replaced Edouard Carpentier as the official French-language interviewer in the WWF. He also replaced Carpentier as on-air commentator in 1989 when Carpentier was briefly suspended. He left WWF at the end of 1991. In 1992, Blondin headed the French language announce team for WCW Power Hour and other WCW programming in Quebec, Canada with former wrestler Richard Charland. Blondin worked full-time for WCW broadcasts. That was eventually stopped around 1995 and he returned to his event management business. In 1996, he was rehired at the recommendation of Jacques Rougeau when WCW was looking for French-speaking announcers for a new TV contract signed with Canal+ in France and Belgium. He brought in good friend Michel Letourneur as co-host because Letourneur could speak with a European French accent since they were working exclusively for Europe. Together, they hosted Monday Nitro and select PPV's (on tape delay) for 3 years. In 1999/2000, the contract with Canal+ was not renewed, however WCW programming resumed in Quebec and they were kept around. In 2000, they started announcing PPVs live on Canal Indigo in Quebec. In 2001, they hosted a seven-week-long marathon of WCW pay-per-view events from Starrcade 1999 to Bash At The Beach 2000. It was around this time that Vince McMahon and the WWF purchased the bankrupt WCW and it was announced that the show would be cancelled
